It's all vanilla preseason crap, nothing to really tell yet.

It's easy to be fooled that we have great LB after the Lew Bush years.
DJ is probably our best LB, but he is only considered average according to the stats compiled by Football Outsiders. He's missed a lot of tackles this preseason. Donnie Edwards is still Donnie Edwards. Very active in downfield coverage, but still tends to get drug downfield on tackles. He'll be a huge upgrade over Bell. I'm not sold on Nap Harris, yet. He SHOULD be an upgrade over KM, but... We probably don't have anyone that desperately needs to be replaced, but we don't have any probowlers either. |

If they're playing 85 snaps every week because the offense 3-and-outs 10 times a game, it wouldn't matter if Jesus was playing linebacker. They're going to wear down. Along with everyone else on the defense.
Particularly if the scheme continues to be designed around the concept of allowing as many yards as possible between the 20s. |

Our LBs are doing well, but Bell's still going to be a liability in coverage.

It's hard to tell. The first string D has done a pretty good job on some goal line and short yardage situations. Then again, the playcalling on offense and defense has been pretty plain. The Broncos had a sweet red zone TD right before the half this week. NO basically tried to run it up the gut; I don't think that is really their style or strength.

The real irony is that the main reason his offense is failing is the offensive line. |

I always pictured Jesus as more of a safety. |

But guys like Herm would, and HAVE. Jimmy Raye and Paul Hackett can get jobs. How many times did Dennis Erickson get a shot? Mike Solari won't have any trouble. |
